Predictors of smoking cessation in an incentive-based community intervention

The Quit and Win Challenge, an incentive-based intervention, was implemented in two counties in Eastern Ontario to encourage adult smokers to quit smoking. Participants (n = 231) were compared with adult smokers selected at random (n = 385) from a larger, four-county area. Baseline characteristics were assessed by telephone interview, including socio-demographic and smoking-related factors. Follow-up interviews were also conducted by telephone. Initial and follow-up response rates were high (over 84%) in both groups. Compared with the random survey group, Quit and Win participants tended to be younger, more educated, employed and heavier smokers, with fewer friends or co-workers who smoked. After one year, 19.5% of them reported that they were smoke-free, whereas less than 1% of the random group had achieved cessation. This translates into an impact rate of 0.17%, affecting 1 in 588 adult smokers. With the exception of the smokers' baseline "stage of change," none of the socio-demographic or smoking factors was predictive of cessation. We conclude that this intervention achieved only limited success and attracted certain sectors of the community disproportionately, i.e. smokers who were highly motivated to quit. We argue that increased access to proven cessation therapies would improve the impact of such interventions.

Nitric oxide attenuates normal and sickle red blood cell adherence to pulmonary endothelium

Increased adherence of sickle red blood cells (RBC) to endothelium is implicated as an initiating event of vaso-occlusion in sickle cell disease. Although much is known about the humoral influences of this interaction, there has been little investigation regarding endothelial contributions. Endothelial derived nitric oxide (NO) inhibits adhesion of platelets and leukocytes to endothelium and decreases expression of VCAM-1, an endothelial adhesion site implicated in sickle RBC/endothelial adherence. However, whether NO inhibits RBC adherence to endothelium is unexplored. We tested this hypothesis with endothelial monolayers exposed to RBC from normal (Hb AA) and sickle cell (Hb SS) volunteers in a parallel plate flow chamber. To decrease NO production, endothelial monolayers were exposed to 100 microM nitro-L-arginine (NLA), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, resulting in an 87% increase in normal RBC adherence (P = 0.002). Because adherence of normal RBC to endothelium was low, the effect of DETA-NO, an NO donor, was tested after activation of endothelium with TNF-alpha increased adherence by 130% (P < 0.001). Subsequent addition of 2 mM DETA-NO produced a 75% decrease in adherence of normal RBC to endothelium (P = 0.03). At baseline, sickle RBC were significantly more adherent than normal RBC (P < 0.001) and DETA-NO decreased sickle RBC adherence by 54% (P = 0.04). Thus, NO inhibits both normal and sickle RBC adherence to endothelium. Strategies that enhance NO activity may be therapeutic in sickle cell disease.     

BAG-1蛋白在非小细胞肺癌中的表达及其与预后关系的研究

目的 研究BAG-1蛋白在非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer,NSCLC)中的表达及其与患者临床特征和预后的关系.方法 应用免疫组化的方法检测125例NSCLC术后石蜡标本中BAG-1蛋白的表达情况,随访后进行生存预后分析.同时选择10例肺炎性假瘤作对照组观察其表达情况.结果 ①BAG-1蛋白在NSCLC组织中存在高表达(阳性率为64.8%);②BAG-1蛋白表达水平与组织学分级相关,分级越差,其阳性表达率越高(P=0.031);③多因素Cox风险模型分析BAG-1是独立的预后因素;④BAG-1蛋白阳性患者具有生存优势(P=0.044),且BAG-1在胞浆中的表迭具有更低的死亡风险(P=0.039),BAG-1蛋白表达阳性组患者的中住生存时问及5年生存率均高于阴性表达组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).结论 BAG-1蛋白是NSCLC独立的预后因素且其表达与预后相关,可能成为新型的临床预后指标.     

大肠癌多层螺旋(MSCT)动态增强扫描与病理学指标的相关性研究

目的 探讨大肠癌细胞分化及淋巴结转移与MSCT增强程度及血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)、微血管密度(MVD)的相关性.方法 选择临床怀疑为大肠癌的患者行MSCT动态增强扫描,经病理证实为大肠癌的患者31例,病理标本HE染色判定其分化程度及淋巴结转移情况;免疫组化SP法染色,检测VEGF表达情况及MVD计数,与MSCT增强程度进行对照分析.结果 本研究结果表明大肠癌细胞分化程度越低,MSCT强化越明显,VEGF表达程度越高,MVD计数越高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).有淋巴结转移组MSCT增强程度、VEGF表达程度及MVD计数均高于无淋巴结转移组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).大肠癌MSCT增强程度与VEGF表达、MVD计数间两两相关,且均为正相关(P<0.05).结论 大肠癌MSCT的增强程度可间接反映其恶性程度(癌细胞分化程度)及淋巴结转移情况.

Growth, puberty and obesity after treatment for leukaemia

Final height, body proportions, pubertal growth and body mass index were studied retrospectively in 142 survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Treatment consisted of combination chemotherapy and cranial irradiation (18 or 24 Gy). Significant standing height loss and disproportion, with a relatively short back, was seen in both radiation dose groups. Girls were more severely affected than boys. Pubertal growth was adversely affected, with a reduction in peak height velocity in both sexes. Puberty occurred early in girls but at the normal time in boys. Nearly half the group were obese at final height, with no significant difference in incidence between the sexes. The relative roles of cranial irradiation and chemotherapy in the disturbance of growth, puberty and body composition observed in survivors of childhood ALL remain unclear. The aetiology is almost certainly multifactorial, with radiation-induced growth hormone insufficiency, early puberty, steroids and chemotherapy all having a role.     

Renal transplantation and osteoporosis

A cross sectional study assessed the bone mineral density (BMD) of 20 young adult patients who received a renal transplantation in childhood. The BMD of the lumbar spine, mainly trabecular bone, and of the total body, mainly cortical bone, were measured and expressed as an SD score. Fourteen patients (70%) had a BMD SD score of the lumbar spine below -1, of whom six patients were below -2. Fifteen patients (75%) had a BMD SD score of the total body below -1, of whom seven patients were below -2, Both trabecular and cortical bone appeared to be involved in the osteopenic process. The cumulative dose of prednisone was inversely correlated to both lumbar spine and total body BMD SD score. In a multiple regression analysis the cumulative dose of prednisone appeared to be the only factor with a significant effect on BMD SD score. Most young adult patients who had received a renal transplantation in childhood had moderate to severe osteopenia. Corticosteroid treatment played a major part in the development of osteopenia in these patients.
